This suggests multiple instances of home sign and perhaps a contact pidgin rather than a coherent language.
However, the system does include an apparent topic-comment construction, with a "preparatory clause" that sets the stage for what will be described, unlike what is found in spoken Mehek.
For example, for 'a man and a woman fought', the signer will indicate the relative heights of the participants before signing 'man' (pat shoulder), 'woman' (pat head or make fists for breasts) and 'fight' (slap one's face).
